"He's really devastated by what happened and some of the issues that were out there, and what's been said by the press," PwC global chairman Bob Moritz told Business Insider in an interview at tech conference Mobile World Congress on Wednesday morning. "Not only him but also his family."

When asked if Cullinan was still at PwC following the incident, Moritz indicated that he was still in the same role.

"Brian is a partner at PwC, and I won't comment any more specifically on him," he said. "The reality is, with respect to Brian, he's been put out there pretty prominently unfortunately. He's devastated by all this, and I hope that the passage of time allow us to move on."

Moritz would not comment on whether the contract with the Academy was up for renegotiation as a result of the mistake.

"I can't comment around the specifics of our relationship with the academy," he said. "It's a client situation and we keep that confidential. What I can tell you is since it's happened we've been working night and day with the Academy, we continue to work with the Academy."
